Thanks for the compliments. I have only sent Ferrari and Pininfarina one of my designs and I got no where. However I like this one so much that I will probably send them this one. What I was envisioning is this tonneau being removable and able to be replaced by a stock Barchetta style and a passenger seat can then be put back in. For racing or shows though, it would just be a one seater. |

Jason! I knew who it was when I saw these pictures... I see your work on Corvette Forum all the time. I like the 575TR... very slick. Patrick |

Here is your shortened windshield version. I changed the seat color to blue because I have seen alot of the old racing Ferraris that have the blue seats and I really like it, besides it makes a nice contrast in the mostly black interior. Let me know what you think of this one.

There are probably very few people who love Ferrari as much as I do. I just look towards the day that I will get my own. Twice I have sat down and tried to do deals on a Ferrari and it just wasn't the time I guess and they fell through. In fact last year I was dealing on a beautiful 308 and the deal was going slow but it was progressing. It took about two weeks and we had finally come to terms and I was going to go pick it up after work. Just three hours before I was going to go pick it up the dealer called and said that the bank backed out for some reason. I was very upset but all things happen for a reason and by next summer I will have one. Anyway I will get the windsheild deleted tonight but the pontoon version might take me awhile. I may set it up like the Rossa concept, I really liked that. I have been trying to get the 12 stacks on the throttle bodies visible under a glass cover like the Testa Rossa too but that is taking me some time. Thank you for your comments and ideas. |

I was just thinking the same thing about the windshield. It would never be able to be driven in the US if the car was actually built. I will do that later tonight. This is the rear view of the car that I just did.

Jason, nice work. The perfect Ferrari, no one to tell you to "slow this damn car down" or if my wife is in the car " , I drive my Excursion faster than this" ... and she does! |

I was playing around with the 575MM last night and I came up with this. Some of it is off of the concept car drawing I showed last summer like the passenger's seat delete with hard tonneau and the bent windshield that gives the look of two seperate windshields like the old racing cars. I have also added the front fog lights and fender openings like the '59 TR. What do you guys think?
